Reply to comment by nishi-no-majo in Which were the worst Oscar nominated perfornances ever, in your opinion? by Lili_Danube

Huh! I actually hadn't ever seen it, or if I have, I have no recollection of it. There are only a few Oscar acceptance speeches from actors that come to mind to me: Sally Field's "you like me" speech, Marlon Brandon's subbing in Sacheen Littlefeather, and Cuba Gooding Jr.'s jump-for-joy speech. But I'd stand by saying that far more people have seen Paltrow in Iron Man/ the Avengers: Endgame than have seen her Oscar speech—I mean that's not even a close call.

There were 3 minutes of ugly crying, bad acting, "I don't feel very deserving", a long list of names (everyone under the sun she'd ever met), prasing Harvey, totally unimpressed audience, her own parents looked uncomfortable and embarrassed. Even Jolie's creepy incest speech a year later wasn't that painful.
